Spring 2

Our new topic is On the Farm. We are very excited to be launching our topic with our first school trip to Wellington Country Park. The children will have the opportunity to visit a farm whilst they are there and to experience a day out in the countryside.  Following on from the trip the children will be learning about different farm animals and the food they produce.  They will be finding out about all the different jobs there are on a farm. 

In maths, we will be focusing on counting to 20, subitising, ordering numbers, properties of shape, addition and subtraction.

In Literacy we will be working on blending and segmenting words, writing lists, creating a poster and writing words and sentences.  We will be reading lots of traditional tales about farm animals to make the topic exciting for the children.

Owlets PE day is Tuesday, and Snowy Owls will be on Wednesday.  Please send your child to school in their PE kit on those days and remember to remove earrings or put surgical tape on the earrings if they cannot be removed. 

Remember to write in the pink reading diaries every time you read at home and tick any keywords that your child can read by sight.

There is a login for Purple Mash in the front of the pink reading diaries.

We are so pleased to welcome your children to our classrooms. Our topic is Healthy Me and the children will be learning about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and how this includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and plenty of sleep.

The children will be practising writing skills through dough gym and hand control activities.  They will begin to write their names and learn to say and write letter sounds.  The children will also be given the opportunity to learn key words.

The children are excited to learn new skills in maths lessons.  They will be counting, recognising, ordering and writing numbers to 5 and beyond!  They will be learning lots of new number rhymes and songs.

The children will also be spending time in our outdoor area.  We will be busy practising our skills on the bikes, being creative with paint, climbing on the apparatus and much more!
